I'm surprised Russia / China / North Korea aren't using this process against dissidents and activists. If you're not reachable by American law enforcement, it seems like such a low-effort way to remove any content off the internet that you don't like.

Getting access to the real names and addresses of these people is a nice bonus too; I'm sure their intelligence services would have plenty of uses for this information.

If there's one way of making the DMCA (and similar legislation around the world) go away, spinning it as an anti-free-speech law with national security concerns is probably it, especially considering the upcoming US administration.

> I don't understand what theoretical basis can even exist for "I don't know" from an LLM, just based on how they work.

Neither do I. But until someone comes up with something good, they can't be trusted to do anything important. This is the elephant in the room of the current AI industry.
OpenAI isn't making money. They are like a giant furnace for investment dollars. Even putting aside that the NFL and OpenAI aren't the same kind of entity, there is also no taxes issue.
Just the fact that you dress up is a political act, you are accepting and reproducing that being naked is wrong, or at least you do it because you can't do it otherwise due to social punishment. Or you go naked, and that's also a political stance. If you live in a society, everything you do is political.

And that's ok, there isn't anything wrong with that.

>Having a worldview is not inherently a political act

yes it is, because that world view doesn't come up to your head in the vaccum, is result of all social interactions you had in your life and every thing you saw etc, and from that you are creating a political posture. You may not take any action and be completely silent about it the rest of your life (doubtful) but even not talking about it is a political act.
Generally good advice in general, $10-20k is nothing to even a small business but is probably a lot to you. It's not often an asymmetry works out in the employees favor.

> For instance, why do you use a toilet instead of a bidet,

Because my bathroom is too small to house a bidet.

Also, a bidet and toilet don’t serve the same purpose so your example is a false choice.

> Well, that depends on what you eat. Do you eat meat, or are you vegan?

The choice of what to eat can reflect or engage with political and social systems, but it isn’t a political act. It is a personal act. And “to eat” is also not a political act.

Last week I had to caution a junior engineer on my team to only use an LLM for the first pass, and never rely on the output unmoderated.

They're fine as glorified autocomplete, fuzzy search, or other applications where accuracy isn't required. But to rely on them in any situation where accuracy is important is professional negligence.

Online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's coalition
Yeah it's a bit rich for tech oligarchs (particularly ones who came here in the 1990s on H1bs) to be telling Americans that we were wallowing in squalor and mediocrity despite landing on the Moon and revolutionizing the Information Age until the 1990s when H1Bs showed up and rescued us from oblivion. Particularly when they're also saying that immigrants in other categories are parasites.

Edit: I would care about this a lot less if I wasn't watching so many American recent graduates of really good engineering programs struggle to land even an interview much less a job with a tech company. You can't betray people like this and not expect a vicious blowback.

I don’t think you understand how the DMCA works or what it was intended to do - again, these are not takedown requests, as is the normal mechanism here, which there are guidelines for - this is platforms preemptively deciding for potential dmca takedown requests to takedown/censor content. If your position is that every single piece of content should never be hosted in fair use online, that is not only not how copyright law works, it’s not how the DMCA works, and I’m not sure how to progress this discussion further since we seem to have a fundamentally different understanding of how the law works, or what this thread is even about.

To trivially prove your point wrong - I actually do have the right under fair use to make content of my own with copyrighted material. This has literally always been ok. Platforms are taking these actions to protect themselves from potentially hosting copyrighted content on their platform that would not consistute fair uses, and since I, a user of their platform, have to abide by their policies, it's their decision. Assuming we are now on the same page here, continuing your speeding ticket example - this is not so much like that, as getting pulled over in a labeled 40 zone and the cop goes "well, we didnt know if you'd be breaking the law later or before this, so just to be safe, here you go" or, "actually that's not really the speed limit." take your choice here, they both apply.

So yea, it has always been ok.
I get the glibness, I think it is fine for here, but actually I really hope someone out there puts in the effort to figure out what the right question of to ask for this stuff. I think you are right that it isn’t well defined here, but getting a well defined question is like halfway to finishing your thesis, right? Haha.

> Is threading potentially better for IO bound tasks than async?

Its a pick your poison type of deal.

I _personally_ hate async. Its a suprise goto, which I don't like. However in my testing asyncio performs the same as threading. (this was with socket based IO)

If you loose the GIL, then threading _should_ be much faster, as it should scale to how many cores you have. But thats only if you have enough IO to saturate a core.
The system is broken and I can't see a way to fix it.

No I'm not being edgy. That is the only way anything is going to change regarding the litany of fucked up corporate practices in our country. Our governments are ineffective at best and are active abettors at worst (read The Chickenshit Club for why they won't ever seriously prosecute execs). Boeing (completely different scenario from the OP but it's recent) has no qualms with killing to maintain the status quo, why should people that want actual change be any different?
A transistor and tube don't know anything about politics though.

You can't hold a referendum to eliminate the Early effect from a transistor, or Miller capacitance from a tube stage.

We can give an accurate and informative technical history of electronic parts, while completely avoiding discussions of mass adoption struggles, and vendors spreading FUD and whatever other fluff. If you add some that to the story it's still primarily a technological story and not political.

> The way it works is that after someone sends a takedown request, the content can't be restored until 10 business days after the person who uploaded it sends a counter-notice.

I'd be curious to know if this has ever been challenged in court as an unconstitutional prior restraint. Pretty obvious problems if you get people e.g. issuing fraudulent takedowns 10 days before an election.
I wouldn't be surprised if WP is actually more popular as a result of WPE's participation. We all use open source software in commercial ways all the time. The potential of virality is why many people are drawn to open source.
> My first 360 assembler class our first assignment: add two numbers, fault, print the crashdump and circle the answer to the ADD in the printout.

> I wrote an RPN calculator, had it do a series of calculations and print the result. Turned that in.

The teacher wanted you to learn:

1. how to write a (very simple) assembly program for 360 to add to numbers

2. how to create a fault

3. how to print a crashdump

4. how to read a crashdump

By using a RPN calculator, you learned none of these objectives.
Why is it that the founders of these global companies seem to be extradited to the US so often, but almost never to other countries?

Let' say you make a huge pirate site (like Kim Dotcom's Megaupload), serving copyright-infringing content from many different countries around the world. Why is the US more entitled to having you in their prisons than, let's say, Czechia, Ecuador or Malaysia?

Is it just imperialism, or is there a more sensible explanation for it?

Afrofuturism didn't come from winning any kind of political power. It came from the opposite. Similarly, white American males aren't fascinated by Rome, the American Civil War, and WW2 because they collectively lack any representation or political power.

> You might be asking, if I am so annoyed by watching movies on Max, Disney+, Netflix, and the rest, why don’t I just watch them from my film snob collection? Funny you should ask, because it’s a not-so-funny story: I moved during the pandemic and someone stole our physical media collection—save for one box of our absolute faves. That’s right, somewhere in the Valley someone acquired a film school’s worth of greatest movies on Blu-ray and DVDs right off the curb next to a moving truck. Rude.

Funny, this is a point in favor of streaming media. Nothing to steal, nothing to get lost, nothing to keep or move or take up space.

Previous generations of neural nets were kind of useless. Spotify ended up replacing their machine learning recommender with a simple system that would just recommend tracks that power listeners had already discovered. Machine learning had a couple of niche applications but for most things it didn't work.

This time it's different. The naysayers are wrong.

LLMs today can already automate many desk jobs. They already massively boost productivity for people like us on HN. LLMs will certainly get better, faster and cheaper in the coming years. It will take time for society to adapt and for people to realize how to take advantage of AI, but this will happen. It doesn't matter whether you can "test AI in part" or whether you can do "exhaustive whole system testing". It doesn't matter whether AIs are capable of real reasoning or are just good enough at faking it. AI is already incredibly powerful and with improved tooling the limitations will matter much less.

I can even keep driving while the whole system is rebooting. Around here (where we have many immigrants and some odd practices) I’ve seen people with a towel hanging over their screen while driving, to protect it like a dust cover I guess.

The one thing you might argue I do need from my screen is the speed, which is very easy to see and usually not needed in the flow of traffic.

The outcry against screens is just misinformed imho. My car has plenty of mechanical buttons.

As a return value: The users who liked a post or nothing if it's not semantically valid for the post to be liked for some reason.

> I just don't find that "types" magically solve problems of cognitive load.

Cognitive load is about working memory and having to keep things in it. Without types one only has a name, say "userIds". The fact that it's possible for it to be null and that it's supposed to contain unique values has to be kept in working memory(an increase in cognitive load)
Greenland is not to be manged for utilized by Denmark. Greenland is independent in that regard.

It still irks me that Chinese LLM weights don’t know anything about Tiananmen Square, and western LLMs from Silicon Valley embed their own personal white guilt.

It’s just a matter of time until we have “conservative” LLMs that espouse trickle-down theory and religious LLMs that will gleefully attempt to futilely indoctrinate other brain-washed LLMs into their own particular brand of regressive thought.

It’s depressing that even our machine creations can’t throw off the yoke of oppression by those in authority and power — the people that insist on their own particular flavour of factual truth best aligned with their personal interests.

Why Misinformation Must Not Be Ignored

I've found that many times new approaches are discovered by not having the bias created by knowledge of existing research. Knowing what others have done can sometimes lead to the abandoning of what could actually be a novel path, or unwittingly guide one too far down already discovered paths.

Of course, the knowledge may also sometimes be helpful. So ideally it's good that different persons tackle the problems with knowledge of different amounts and parts of existing work.
